Gambia Bird Airlines Limited was the flag carrier airline of Gambia headquartered in Kanifing with its home base at Banjul International Airport. It suspended operations in December 2014 (2014-12).

Gambia Bird was founded by the German carrier Germania in October 2012. The airline was launched in partnership with the Government of Gambia in order to replace the services of Air Afrique, which was liquidated in 2002. Germania retained a 90% ownership share pf Gambia Bird.

The carrier started operations on 22 October 2012 (2012-10-22) with an Airbus A319-100 leased from Germania that flew between Banjul and Dakar.Accra, Conakry, Freetown and Monrovia were added to the route network shortly afterwards; on 24 October 2012 (2012-10-24), Gambia Bird operated its first service to London Gatwick. Flights to Barcelona were introduced on 28 October. A second A319 joined the fleet in November 2012 (2012-11).

In December 2014 (2014-12), Gambia Bird suspended operations until further notice. By May 2015, there had not been any resumption of services. The former aircraft of Gambia Bird are currently back in service with its parent, Germania. In March 2015, Germania's CEO already stated that a resumption of services by Gambia Bird seems unlikely due to an insufficient perspective for the future development.
